Dreg Reaver
A 4/3 for with no abilities is a rate that hasn't survived contact with the modern power curve, and even in older eras it sat well below the going price for five mana. The math is unforgiving: a body this size costs more than the creatures it trades with, carries no evasion, and does its work strictly on the ground where four power gets blocked all day. What it offers is raw size in a color that historically had to claw for it. Black's cheap creatures skew small and evasive, leaning on removal and reach rather than brawn, so a four-power beater any deck touching the color can cast is a real if modest contribution to that gap. The Zombie Beast line is the only seam a deckbuilder might pry open, slotting it into a shell that cares about one creature type or the other, though the body is doing the talking either way. Outside that, it reads exactly as printed: a vanilla beater meant to give a slower black deck a creature that hits hard enough to demand a block and costs little enough in card terms not to sting when it dies doing it.
